There's really not a lesson there, nor is it very humorous. It's another pathetic false comparison made by someone who reflexively opposes taxes.

Let's look at the bigger picture. What's good for the American economy? Shall we compare the economic health and security of the average American household today with that of, let's say, the same family in 1960? We would find that they were considerably more secure and had no worries about losing their homes, health care or pensions. The marginal tax rate on the wealthiest Americans was more than 90% not the puny 35% or so it is now.

The fact is that the higher the tax rate on the wealthy the better off most Americans are. Look at history instead of movies.

You guys are just completely missing the point here. To which I am just shocked. Shocked!

Hollywood types are constantly telling us how to be, including that the rich are evil and need to pay more taxes. The irony is that they talk about their industry the same why conservatives talk about all industry.

While this letter was very tongue in cheek, I think there's an important lesson there. And if you guys try really really really hard, you might get it.
